There is so much to love about RADIANT, a deeply moving new #MGLit Novel In Verse by Coretta Scott King Award Winner, Vaunda Micheaux Nelson. The author takes us back to 1963, a pivotal year in the Civil Rights Movement, and in general, a scary time for the black community. The pages bring us to Pittsburgh, to a primarily white suburb, where we meet our protagonist Cooper Dale. Filled with historical, social & political references, Vaunda take readers back in time & paints a vivid picture of what it would be like to live in Cooper’s world, a world of a young black girl trying to shine her light in a time where many are determined to dim it, but Cooper, like the title suggests, finds a way! RADIANT is a profoundly meaningful tale that inspires kindness & reminds us that things aren’t always as they appear. 10/10! 🌟 MORE BOOK REVIEWS AVAILABLE TO WATCH ON MY WEBSITE AT WWW.ETRAINTALKS.COM & ON MY E TRAIN TALKS BOOKS YOUTUBE CHANNEL 🥳🌟
